Category:Women with opened mouths[edit]
Similar to the men category, this seems unneccessary. It seems like this and Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/05/Category:Men with opened mouths should be parallel to each other. Ricky81682 (talk) 23:52, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- Pinging @E4024, Beeblebrox, Kritzolina, ŠJů, Estopedist1, and Lallint: so everyone from the Category:Men with opened mouths discussion is notified. The creator of both categories is the same. Ricky81682 (talk) 23:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Comment 
Wait I am sympathetic with the reasons for deletion, but I'm not sure that deletion is really the answer for the problem. Yes, the fact that images of women get far more detailed attention in creating and populating these kinds of categories is probably a sad comment on the natural biases in the interests of the collective user base. However, shutting these categories down will do nothing to change that. I do not think that the categories are necessarily inherently objectifying of their subjects. I am leaning towards Keep all but would like to hear a bit more before being convinced one way or the other. Josh (talk) 04:33, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
